millione’er-do-well

millione’er-do-well (mil yun aer do well) NOUN. A rich criminal. From “millionaire” and “ne’er-do -well.”

America hasn't executed a millionaire since Juan Garza, in 2001, and he was a major drug kingpin and murderer. Phil Spector, O.J. Simpson and John du Pont all committed premeditated murder, so why aren't they on death row? They are millione’er-do-wells. They had been paranoid, hyper aggressive assholes for years, but their money protected them.
